They propose 10 per cent, dividend, absorbing £12,500, and to carry the same amount to the reserve fund, making £12,500. The balance of £10,623 16s 3d will be carried forward. The insurance fund now amounts to £7754 7s 3d. Full provision has been made for losses on vessels under charter before striking a balance. The following clause occurs in the report : —“ Steam.—Considerable agitation existing for direct steam communication with the Mother Country, and the necessity existing for additions to the fleet of the Company, your Directors are taking the necessary steps to place this Company in a position to supply such portion of direct steam service as may be deemed needful to protect the valuable business of the Company, and meet the reasonable requirements of its trade.”
